The supreme court has affirmed the victory of Bala Mohammed, governor of Bauchi state.
Mohammed, who contested under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had defeated Mohammed Abubakar, then governor of the state, in the results of the election announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Abubakar ran under the All Progressives Congress (APC). He had challenged his rival’s victory at the court.
